As i paced myself towards the key club venue, I noticed not such of a throng of fans...if i recall right, the moshing was not of a frenzy, except when Arsis performed (and that's largerly and mainly due to Michael and gudy who initiated such, but i digress)


The first band to performed was Manslaughter. they managed to have a good sound, their last song they performed was entitled: manslaughter, and i admit that it had the prestige to start a bit of slam dancing; if there were more people at attendance at such an early time. the vocalist/guitarist, did a better job at maneuvering the guitar, i felt that for the vocals part it could of been better if the microphone was louder on her, rather than the drummer...and they had the guitarist of abysmal dawn if my memory is correct. (their progressive side of metal became a bit too prominant)

The next band should of been: the agonist, but they seem to cancel their tour due to their Auto accident of ill sorts...their replacement was some band that identify themselves from South Central L.A (can't remember their name, if you do- then let me know): >>>i dont recall the name of the BAND, however; i do remember the vocalist saying OVER and OVER again: what the F uck about 7 or 8 times until some crowd member started saying some vulgarity in accordance to the vocalist countenance. the songs that stuck to me was "323" and "african crucifixion (i think)"...they had some worthy guitar riffs, if only they could of lower down their bass just a bit.

ARSIS, was the third band to performed and finally some moshing ensued! Overall this band could have easily be the 4th band to perform instead of having the faceless... their songs were fast-pulsed, and technical, - some symmetry to the band: Destruction.

and about THE-Faceless. I expected much from them, they arise from a city in the san fernando valley (encino).
I DONT KNOW THEM !!! but i have had friends and former friends who really interacted with them- being that their keyboardist was in a side project with them or their drummer being in another band, and friends of friends and the like, but i care not!
Their fan base were easily recognizable, and at some point i witnessed that they might of try to enter themselves unto the fragile moshpit, and some tempers were kindled and the security had to stop it....the Metal fans had indeed won(ha)...It wasnt until they performed Hypocrisy, that the crowd finally earn themselves something- semi-worthy cacophony.
Their last song that they performed was AN autopsy, it was Ok.

ENSLAVED!!!
i am going to be honest with you, i been an uncanny bugger that's gone to a good amount of concerts. Hitherto Enslaved has been granted as the band to perform witht the best sound>>> everything was on a high-grade scale!!!

"ENSLAVED WAS EPIC", that's all i am going to say, if you werent there, then you missed out!

Farewell
